Voter registration ends October 9. We will conduct an intensive registration campaign the last two weeks is September and the first week in October. After October 9, we will go immediately into voter education and get-out-the-vote.

October 30 is the last day to apply for a mail-in absentee ballot.

In 2008, voters of color – particularly African-American voters – turned out in record numbers to cast a ballot. However, in the last year, more than 30 states, including Kentucky, introduced voter suppression laws that disproportionately impact African-American voters. Fortunately, the voter suppression legislation in Kentucky died in committee.

If we are to continue to make progress, African-Americans and other minorities must register and vote!
